need help over the graphics card power supply

I've recently bought a sapphire r7 250x and it requires a 6 pin pcie connector.... which my psu doesn't has....... a single 3 pin to 6 pin connector came with the card..... I wanted to ask whether this cable would be able to power the card or do i need to get a dual 3pin to 6 pin connector or a new psu with 6 pin pcie connector...... Please tell me the best option..... I obviously don't want my card to.get damaged..

It's a pretty basic one....... Core2duo.... 4 gb ram motherboard is from msi it's ddr3 1 hdd 1 optical drive and the psu is a 450w it came with the case....i was wondering that this psu would be appropriate as the rig is basic and would not require much power

the psu is ok it should run i estimated it at about 350 watt so you should be ok.if the pc refuses to start grab a better psu most of the times the psu provided with the case is low quality and does not output the displayed wattage.

your gpu does not consume a lot of power it should be able to power up without a 6 pin connection in theory through the motherboard.the reason it has a 6 pin is so you can be able to overclok it.why else would the manufacture include it in there if it was not going to work with it.
